ive been getting this problem with the last two torrents that i downloaded for photoshop and somehow after running the licence repair file from THIS torrent didnt help either...
the problem is: whenever i launch photoshop, after installing by the given instructions VERY carefully, i get a message that says license has expired...
i respect ur reputation on this forum thethingy....please help me out here

Again, and as always, Mr. TheThingy
Many thanks for your kind efforts at giving help to those in need. In this case, the need for information. In the way of teachers, helpers, transfer of information to others is a wonderful thing. You are very thoughtful and helpful to us poor idiots and spreading happiness and fun to those who accept your graciousness.

To others - WAY TO BE GRATEFUL!! Is there one person without problems willing to take the time to say THANK YOU!?

Firstly, thank you for making this possible, your hard work is appreciated!

I am having trouble installing Illustrator CS6... I didn't install it properly the first time (I'm using the files supplied by [TheThingy]) and so need to clean my system for a fresh install before following the instructions to do it again by copying the dll file etc.

I'm using windows 8, and it's Illustrator CS6 (just to be clear, as I think this may be where the problem is coming from?)

I have downloaded 'Adobe Clean Install & Error Toolkit v4'

The first instruction is:

"1: Open each Adobe app you intend to uninstall and go to HELP then
DEACTIVATE once deactivated close the apps and restart.
^^^^-------- THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP."

As I have already used my trial I can't even open Illustrator to perform this step.

Anyway, moving on to step 2... I have uninstalled Adobe Illustrator and (3.) re-started.

4. I have installed the 'Windows Clean Up Tool' and (5.) restarted again

"5: Select the Adobe apps and uninstall them (they may well be gone)." - they are not in the list. (I also wondered if this version of the software was compatible with windows 8?) (6. Restart again!)

The next step: "7: For CS3/4/5 apps & non CS apps go to the CSX apps folder and follow the read me." - I got down to the part where it say "# Choose the version of software for which you wish to run the cleanup." and Illustrator CS6 is not on the list :-(

NEXT STEPS:
"8: Go to the access control list repair folder and follow the read me (Vista & 7 only)" - I'm on windows 8 so this doesn't apply to me

NEXT: "9: Go to the registry reset folder and do steps 1 & 2."....
The first step here is : "CREATE A SYSTEM RESTORE IMAGE FIRST SO YOU CAN RESTORE THE REGISTRY SHOULD YOU RUN INTO ANY ISSUES." - I want to be sure I'm doing this right (I know this is basic and I'm sure it's the same thing I've done a million times before but... do I do this by going to: Control Panel > System and Security > Backup and Restore > and clicking on "Create a System Image"?

Everything after this looks fairly straightforward, reading through it, however I'm a bit concerned about the last part: "ONCE RESTARTED YOU MAY FIND CERTAIN APPLICATIONS FAIL TO START (GENRALLY ANTIVIRUS) SHOULD THIS HAPPEN THEN RUN THE ALTERNATIVE SCRIPT THEN IF THAT HAS NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE (AFTER RESTART) GO TO THE UNINSTALL PROGRAMES OPTION IN THE CONTROL PANEL AND SELECT THE REPAIR/UNINSTALL THEN REPAIR OPTION FOR THE AFECTED APPLICATION(S)."
(I'm concerned because I'm a bit of a newbie concerning this type of thing, and I've also just got a new laptop which has taken quite a while to get organised/software installations up to par, trying to take care of it...)

...... if I run into a problem like this, is it going to affect anything else other than my anti-virus? Can you tell me any more about why this might happen? I would rather learn a wee bit instead of do it blind.

I know the above is a bit long winded but I'd rather explain everything as clearly as posssible, I would really reallly appreciate any help anyone could provide on this,
Thank you

I have problem in CS6 Extended where the program prompts me to sign in everytime I want to use the program. Besides that, I'm always in Trial mode, only 30 days then it expires. But still, I can't use the program because I need to sign in. Any way to solve this? Any help and advice would be appreciated.

I have followed all the steps for installing: Adobe Illustrator CS6. I think I have come quite far and it went very well, while using the video tutorial. This might sound like a very stupid question. In the video, you have to open the etc map, then open the host file with wordpad. Then copy and past it to the desktop, where you open it again with wordpad. Please correct me if I done it wrong. This is the steps I made so far. The problems is: when it comes to making changes in the host file on my desktop. I don't know what is good to type in, for the program to work without problems. I really wouldn't know what to add/type in this area: I sincerely hope that you will be able to help me, sir.
This is where I'm confused:
